In a day where outdoor fêtes are becoming more and more common, it’s lovely to see the ballroom wedding still has its place! Lisa and Adam’s New York City wedding ties in elements of enchanted forests, Tim Burton style, and the most gorgeous, vibrant floral arrangements you could imagine. This has to be the most unique floral wedding cake we’ve seen in a long time, and we’re loving every detail shot by the fabulous Liesl Henrichsen of Photo Pink.

From the bride, Lisa: The inspiration behind the flowers, feathers and decorations was Tim Burton (I’m a huge fan of his) and Alice in Wonderland – we wanted to make it feel like an enchanted forest (with a little bit of a gothic feel, and the venue was perfect for that). The favor bags were filled with ground coffee from MUD coffee in the East Village. To go along with the Alice in Wonderland-esque theme, Adam wore clock cufflinks (his father’s) and set them to 11:20 for our wedding date.

From Sarah of Blossom and Branch Florists:“The bride had a vision for a wedding inspired by Tim Burton’s film “Alice in Wonderland.” She wanted florals and decor that were colorful, whimsical, slightly gothic and included lots and lots of moss! The primary colors were orange and bright blue with deep red accents and the decorative elements included curiosities such as branches, crystals, lanterns, urns, birch rounds, birdcages and medicine bottles. She was very interested in texture and variety, so we created 4 categories of centerpieces, each slightly different.

For both ceremony and reception, we aimed for a romantic woodland feel and included masses of moss along with draping hanging amaranthus everywhere we could put it! Hanging amaranthus dangled form the chandeliers, as well as from the Chuppah. Moss lined the aisle. We used black tulle to drape the Chuppah, clusters of rich blooms along the front and dramatic, branchy urns at the base of each pole. We wanted the Chuppah to be magical feel other-wordly.

For the personal flowers, the bride requested feathers everywhere, so we used spotted guinea feathers, peacock feathers and blue pheasant feathers.”
